A Native American teacher of mine, from a group called "the Giving Circle" once told me that sorcery is any kind of magic that harms or manipulates another being. This also applys to non-physical beings (discarnate spirits). It is wrong to conjure demons to do anything for a magician, and many CMs like those in the OTO practice this kind of magic. Manipulative love spells is also considered sorcery. Also black sympathetic magic is sorcery. Even a healing spell without a person's permission is in that category and I have done that before. I once sensed a friend of mine had ovarian cancer and I used a part of a cloak that I found that I sensed belonged to that person at one time and I administered Reiki on it to try to heal that person. My intent was to heal the cancer because I did not want that person to suffer from that cancer. Demonic conjuarations is the worst kind of sorcery though.
Not all kinds of magic is sorcery. A ritual to celebrate Full Moon or a Sabbat (Yule, Summer Solstice or Samhain for example - there are eight of them) is okay. This is celebratory.
My high priestess from a coven I was in once told me that there is no magic performed between Samhain and Yule, since this is a time of rest.
Blessed Be
